THE SACRED SOUND : AUM

Hi everyone! So pleased to meet you and to share this sacred space with you.

Enjoy the video, and then check out the short reading afterwards to solidify the information.

With love, Megan

COURSEWORK:

Briefly summarize the meaning and symbolism of Aum/OM in your own words.

Here's a more detailed visual of the OM symbol for you to study:

Please read the following, from TKV Desikachar's "Religiousness in Yoga":

Note that "Ishvara" generally means "higher power."

And how cool is this? There's a sacred mountain in the Himalayas called Om Parvat, where whenever it snows, the snowfall forms the shape of the Omkara!

Lastly, watch this sweet dad "om" his baby to sleep, and see the immense calming power the sacred syllable holds for even the smallest among us.

Namaste, yogis! Have an OMazing day!

Love,

Megan
